Taking a Break!

2009-10-02T20:49:00.002-04:00

I am increasingly finding it difficult to maintain 3 different blogs (1 official blog - on the office intranet & 2 other on blogspot). A time has come where I need to take a break and relax while paying full attention to the most important thing in life - Family.I would not be posting anything on this blog for alteast until the end of 2010. I hope I would be able to comeback recharged - with

To all drivers!

2009-08-18T21:37:00.005-04:00

Anyone who had had a very close encounter in a road accident knows that all it takes is a few milliseconds to change your world, your family's world & even somebody else's world. I & SH had had a very close shave in Feb 2003 at Bangalore and the only reason we survived was helmets - The helmet almost broke into two and my head was intact... Apparently most of these awakenings/self-realization

Rats - For a novel protest!

2009-08-14T19:27:00.004-04:00

The pay-scale of top executives has recently invited a lot of debate and anger in the common public, especially after the US government had to bailed out a lot of companies, contrary to their general capitalistic stand on market and industry issues.In February this year, The US President Obama branded Wall Street bankers “shameful” for giving themselves nearly $20 billion in bonuses as the

A Toy Story...

Act #1 Driving back home from office along with little one.Started at 4PM since it was a FridayLO: Daddy, Can we go to the store? Me: What do you want to buy? LO: I want to buy a baby toy.Me: You already have a lot of toys to play with. What toy do you want to buy? LO: Just… a baby toy… please? I decide to go to the store, double it up with some pending grocery shopping.Since SH would anyways

Day 4 - Disney's Magic Kingdom

2009-07-15T22:04:00.003-04:00

Since I raved sufficiently about Magic Kingdom in the last post, I am not going to repeat that again here. Day 4 was one of those short days where we decided not to have the second entry to the park, instead decided to catch a longer sleep, & hit the pool in the hotel. It was also one of those days where the afternoon rain continued until late evening & killed the excitement. As planned earlier,

Feel at home - for a change!

2009-07-05T12:15:00.006-04:00

Fourth of July calls for a lot of celebration in the United States on account of Independence day (July 4, 1776 from the British). It is a federal holiday and it is marked with a lot of fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics and concerts. And if we are in town, we never try to miss the nearest fire works that starts shortly after sunset ~ around 9 PM.This time, we had a birthday

Got this one through a forwarded email from a friend & I nearly fell off from my seat laughing. who ever created this one, I should say, real talent!!And well deserving for the kind of statements that comes out of people like Jayarajan. Can't they stop making a fool of themselves? രാഷ്ട്രീയക്കാരോടുള്ള വിശ്വാസ്യത മാത്രമേ നഷ്ടപെട്ടിട്ടുള്ളൂ. ചിന്താശക്തി നശിച്ചിട്ടില്ല! കഷ്ടം!Image courtesy:

Day 3 – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

2009-06-11T17:17:00.014-04:00

Disney World has 4 theme parks and 3 Water parks in Orlando. Water parks are more or less like the Veega Land / Wonder La kind of parks – though I had been to neither of these places :) – and do not even have a good liking for Water Parks. The 4 Theme parks are Magic Kingdom – Built on the theme of the fairies and princesses, Animal Kingdom – Built on the themes of the getting to know the

2009-06-10T08:47:00.003-04:00

Sometimes, your brain tells you to stop, take a breather and then step on the gas again. And you don't listen because of 'priorities' - A convenient name that most of the professionals use to hide behind. And after a while it starts intervening with your day to day routine.I had been having very long working hours in the past few weeks - thanks to some of the excellent support I receive from my

Day 2 - The day with Shamu @ Seaworld

2009-05-29T16:12:00.013-04:00

The Day 2 started off well after a relaxed waking up at 7 & a nice & filling continental breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast was complimentary for the stay (which is normally the case for most hotels in the US) and was really filling. We have also developed a liking towards bagels, eggs, sausage & cheese off-late; but the real advantage was that little one would have a decent meal in the

Day 1 - The 'Home Alone' Story

2009-05-22T15:28:00.011-04:00

The end of another tiring week and by the time I & my girls came home on Friday, it was 30 minutes past 8 in the night. We were very excited, not just by the fact that it is going to be a weekend, but that we were going to be on a week long vacation!! At the same time, we hadn’t even started packing for the week. I am a very ‘light’ traveler, (there had been instances while as a bachelor, I had

The vacation of a lifetime!

2009-05-20T17:17:00.007-04:00

Back with a big-bang after a month of hibernation! And yes, I am planning to write a tour-diary about our week long vacation to Florida from 9th May 09 to 17th May 09 (Heavy draught of topics - you guessed it.. LOL). Hectic schedules at work, stressful days of uncertainty, and what we really wanted was a break. A good long break to chill off from the day-to-day scrambling with work & home. Our

Happy Vishu!

2009-04-14T11:21:00.003-04:00

What a better way to start a new year than by standing outside the office at temperatures close to 4 deg C for almost 45 minutes starting at 7:30 in the morning because somebody tried to toast a bagel & forgot to pick it up while it got stuck in the toaster!!! The fire alarm went off in the adjacent building early in the morning with just 3 of us in our building and none of the floor wardens

The Fairy Tale Concert

2009-03-10T12:33:00.003-04:00

I have realized that my hobbies are getting switched pretty frequently - off late. Sometimes I am on full throttle with my still camera & then sometimes into video mixing & editing. And then the next day I get bored of each of this & gets settled with a book.In between this switches, I had my baby's Annual Concert held at her school on the 6th of March 09. It was named as the "Fairy Tale Concert"

A word, A statement, A comment - When used in a wrong fashion, that can ruin your day, sometimes even a week.That is what happened with me today. When you give all that you have got for a genuine cause, when you go beyond R&R in running that extra mile for your team, the last thing that you want to see is mistrust, skepticism and doubts on integrity. It just put me off today - first thing on the

Shortcut to Success

2009-02-09T18:41:00.008-05:00

Is there a shortcut to success? Of course, it is a magic potion that has the following ingredients - commitment, hard work & perseverance!I stumbled upon a videoclipping from a Tamil movie - Mayakannadi - the last day (Thanks to Pam's orkut updates) and I was pleasantly surprised that even now, there are some movies made that does its small bit of social justice to the community as a medium.

For me, 2009 does not look as gloomy as the market - after all! Things had been picking up for me (on a personal note) slowly since beggining of this year and here is the icing on the top - My photo got selected in our organization's calendar contest! Yes!! it is my photo that decorates the September 2009 month in our organization's calendar... yippeee...Thanks a bunch to my friend Lalitha, who

Welcoming the New Year

2008-12-31T13:35:00.004-05:00

Another year went by... with its share of ups & downs.And it is already 2009 at some parts of the world while I write this, we share messages and wishes for a very 'Happy' New Year...There was a phase in my life when we partied (read as get drunk...) the whole night, have count downs and even light fire crackers at the middle of the night to welcome the New Year. The New Year never used to be a

And the list continues...

2008-11-30T17:50:00.003-05:00

A whole lot of my colleagues here had been asking about Mumbai & showing their solidarity & support to pray for the victims of the barbarious act. A handful of them were actually surprised by the way I responded as 'yet another one' - only people like us know how these attacks has become a part & parcel of the common man's life & it made sense to take a look back of the attacks in 2008.January

Sad, shocked & as blank as it can get

2008-11-27T21:43:00.004-05:00

My mind is as blank as it can get after hearing the shocking news about the terrorist attack in Mumbai. Does killing innocent public help anyone get their revenge? or does it make any statement? I fail to understand what drives the mind of such people.More than anything, I am baffled to see the whole fraternity fail in their intelligence (everyone as a team), this being the 8th ot 9th terrorist

Some secular thoughts...

2008-11-25T16:29:00.011-05:00

I am a Hindu by birth. I am a Hindu by my beliefs. But I am not a religious lunatic. My beliefs & my faith are very personal to me. And I don’t wear my religion on my sleeves and I am a strong believer of secularism. And I believe we can co-exist. Before writing this post, I had thought about whether to do this or not - for a long time because I feel I am going to be ‘profiled’(1) soon by who

Change that you can believe in...

2008-11-07T14:08:00.003-05:00

Finally, the United States of America voted for the "Change that you can believe in..." by a landmark decision of having a non-White as an American President. One of the key statements that stay fresh in my mind from Obama's speech is that: - "The rule by instilling fear in people is over and this is a fresh start, with hope & change that the Americans can believe in".While I neither know nor

2008-10-24T18:31:00.002-04:00

Off-late, lots has been spoken about the world economy, how it behaved when the Wall Street tumbled and how people had lost money. Worse to come, banks are collapsing attributing to a lot of people losing money and as the panic spreads, people are pulling out their money out of the markets based on the fundamental factor that – during a crisis, the man with liquid cash in hand always comes out

Tsunami - And how many types!

2008-10-13T20:27:00.008-04:00

This must be a little funny.The first time I heard the word tsunami was way back in May 2002. Yeah, a good 2.5 years before the Dec 2004 tsunami created havoc in the coastal India, Thailand and Malaysia. I was working with a giant investment bank then on a migration project and we had staffed up using a man power consulting company in Bangalore called tSunami Infotech (The spelling is not a typo,

Finally this had to come... I was amused, feeling funny and at the same feeling guilty about myself after what happened at home last night.Amiya had been listening to a lot of stories at school offlate as a part of her Language skills training and one of the stories include the one that has a Mermaid, a Monster and a King. (I forget the name of the story... poor me...). It was her birthday party

Religion, Politics & Criminal Opportunism

Religion, Caste, Politics, Attacks based on race & creed - I am terribly disturbed on the events going on back at my home town. In July this year, a school teacher who was attending a cluster meeting was beaten to death by a group of 'protesting mob' against the 7th standard social science text book. It is not yet time to forget what happened in Marad, The attack & the counter attack in Gujarat (

Oh Mind, Relax please…

2008-09-16T15:37:00.004-04:00

My friend Kummi (Senthil) keeps sending me emails every day with a one liner that is very thought provoking and insightful. He has setup the series as “Oh Mind, Relax please…” and today is the 1137th issue - phew! That is a long time! - Since he started sending out this on a daily (working day) basis. I am sure that these one-liners definitely touches somebody every day and even makes their day –

Compelling Message with Great Representation - BANG on Target!

2008-09-10T15:50:00.004-04:00

I stumbled upon Jeff Brenman's presentation on the larger concern of fresh water scarcity on the earth on Slideshare and I was really amazed by the simplicity of the representation that makes this one of the best presentations that I have seen till date! The way the whole presentation is structured, along with the compelling message that it sends sure reaches the audience BANG on target. --------

Is Our Culture = Hypocrisy ?

2008-09-07T15:24:00.007-04:00

I know that I am touching a raw nerve here! Much has been talked about the Indian culture in the global context and there is no doubt – we are all proud of what we are. But in the past few months (well, more than a few) when I see the stuff going around me, I tend to believe that we are slowing transforming into a big bunch of Hypocrites!While I started writing this post I looked up on Wiki (

During these trips I get a lot of time for myself, and me especially being a person who likes solitude once in a while to recharge, have kind of started liking these trips. It was during one of these trips, I met Dave, the cab driver.I had called for a taxi from my office to my hotel on my

Mind Speaks

2008-08-04T17:07:00.004-04:00

I had a very interesting debate on parenting with a family friend of ours who visited us last night. Though the debate digressed into different tangents during the course of the debate, it brought out a lot of insights into the value system that each of us have & how they differ from person to person, family to family & even culture to culture.The primary discussion started of with how we can

Dysphemism, Cacophemism & Swearing

2008-07-27T11:45:00.005-04:00

What happens when somebody swears at you? From the time it hits your ears, through the message getting transmitted to your brain, the brain deciphering them and you understanding the message, the message getting registered in the encyclopedia called your memory; working like a neural network, continously assimilating information and learning from the day to day activities...Pretty interesting

Questions from an innocent mind

I received this long question and answer as a forwaded email, so I am not sure who authored this. But who ever it is, it is a wonderful compilation. Some genuine thoughts into the foreign policies of the largest economy and their possible answers. As answered to a child by his/her Dad.The ending is a bit absurd, though it is a very good read -------------------------------------------------------

I am awed!

2008-07-08T13:15:00.002-04:00

I couldn't believe it when I heard that for the first time. And this is unfortunately true.Darwin's thoery of evolution is not taught to the children in the US of A until they finish their highschool & later opt for life sciences for their higher studies! And why? Because the church, who 'used to' (not anymore) run a parallel government here, did not believe so; And wanted the children to believe

Tagging is the best thing that can happen to me now. The simple reason being that I have hit a mental block on blogging - too many thoughts, not one to blog about! And I realize that I have been tagged by Dhanya.Thank you Dhanya. I am picking up the tag with my hate list. Well, I actually have a list of people whom I secretly hate [:)], but ain't that politically so incorrect? So I am now

Off late, I have come across a lot of examples and situations in my personal & professional life that had gone in a totally different directon because of the influence of listening skills. Do we need a special 'skill' to listen? Or just by having a set of ears mean that you are a good listener? I beg to differ. I have also found that many of the problems - starting from the ones in your

It had been some time since I blogged here. Not that I wanted to stay away from this medium of expression, but there was some thing more important at home that I needed to pay more attention to. And now I am still catching up on some of the pretty bad incidents that have gone awfully wrong in the blogger's world. Though I have not started writing a Blog in my mother-tongue Malayalam, I am an avid

What is the Story of Stuff?From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities around the world, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social

The Song of Hiawatha

2007-12-11T15:53:00.001-05:00

During the last weekend (9th Dec 07), I saw this movie named "The Song of Hiawatha". The movie is based on the epic poetry by the same name written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow based on the legendary leader named Hiawatha of the Obijway Indians. Obijway Indians are one of the largest group of Native Americans and the third largest native community in the United States - surpassed only by

Today afternoon I (again) saw the tamil movie - "Kizhakku Cheemayilae" - directed by the coveted south indian director Bharatiraaja. I had seen this movie a couple of times earlier and I like Bharatiraaja's films for their smell of the soil, fragrance of true love and the prick of emotions. This movie is about the love of a brother to his sister, the different phases, situations, face-off, egos

I have not seen an individual or a leader or an activist who admits what they do is wrong. All of us, including me, believes, strives and gives away for the good of the environment - At the capability each of them is. Every one; be an individual, be a community, be a state, be a nation, or even mankind; has a story of how much they have given away for the benefit of others and how they feel

I had been dropping and picking up my daughter at the play school for the past 4 weeks now. The look at her eyes when I say bye to her at school, slowly watering, yet trying not to cry, it pricks me hard some where in my heart. Both of us know that we will meet again in another few hours, but for some reason my soul clenches when I see that look on her face.And when my wife calls me up to find

I really do not know how to start this post. This is kind of stuff that sometimes I am at loss of words expressing...I have pretty much lived my life so far based on what I thought is right and felt like doing.

After breakfast, we set out on our trip at 6:45 AM.

This is an incident that happened on Thursday, the 7th June 2007 at the hotel where I stay in Morrisplains, NJ - Candlewood suites. Though Candlewood is an American hotel, there is nothing American about it except the names. All the

Bitching, bitching & bitching...Is that the only way to get over it? And what is that constructive way to get over this whole mess? Ahh yes... sportsman spirit! What we need here is sportsman spirit - to effectively get over it and be back in the ring.Sometimes you find very smart people; And there are others who think they are smart; Poor guys, I can only pity them. Because all they can do is to

Another Vishu passes by… And without much fanfare and without any major excitement; it turns out to be another lazy weekend.Sometimes, I wonder when is that me and many of my acquaintances (friends and others) have developed this indifference to festivals. As any nostalgic soul like me who always like to live in the ruminations of the past, I too take a deep breath,
